		<p>A specific dialog can be called contextually to one or several elements in order to manage their allocations to other elements.</p>

		<p>Possible allocations:</p>
		<ul>
			<li>
				<b>Operational Activities to Operational Entities / Actors</b> 	(allocation relationship)
			</li>
			<li>
				<b>Functions to Actor / System / Components</b> (allocation 	relationship)
			</li>
			<li>
				<b>Exchange Items to Interfaces</b> (reference relationship)
			</li>
			<li>
				<b>Functional Exchanges to Component Exchanges</b> (allocation 	relationship)
			</li>
			<li>
				<b>Physical Component Parts to Physical Component Parts</b> 	(deployment relationship)
			</li>
		</ul>

		<p>Most of the time, allocating a Function to a Component is achieved through an architecture diagram or through the Component Editor.</p>

		</p>
		<p>The allocation can also be performed the other way round: by opening a contextual dialog on a Function or Activity, all possible Components proposed (according to the current engineering phase: Entities, Actors, System, Logical Components, Physical Components). This command is available both from the Project Explorer and the Diagrams.</p>
		<p>One of the main advantage of this contextual allocation dialog is that is allows selecting several Functions / Activities at once and allocate them to the selected element.</p>
